Spotted Lagoon Jellyfish

Spotted Lagoon Jellyfish are a fairly hardy species with a few caveats to their care. To condense the information below, they like to be kept warm with low flow and under plenty of light!

 

Stocking density: Spotted Lagoons don't have true tentacles, just feeding arms, so the risk of them tangling is quite slim. Because of this, you can keep several together in the same tank.  They stay relatively small, reaching only 4-5" in diameter so you can stock these at a medium density. 

​

Flow: Low flow! Spotted Lagoons do not like to be pushed around the tank. Give them just enough flow that they can swim around on their own. Signs of too much flow include bell deformation and thin, misshapen arms.

​

Feeding: Having hundreds of tiny mouths, instead of one central mouth, Spotted Lagoons do best with small food items. Live baby brine shrimp are a great option. Some nutrition will also come their symbiotic algae, so it is important to provide them with adequate lighting. 

​

Temperature: 77-82F we like to keep our tropical jellies on the warmer side, around 80. Keeping them below 77 will lead to slowed growth/metabolism and eventually mortality if below 74/72 F. 

​

Salinity: 1.023-1.026 SG 31-35 PPT.
